A base for exploring the south
Because of its position on Upolu's southern side, Safaatoa works well as a place to stay while you explore the rest of the island's southern attractions. Days can move between the calm of the village and trips further afield, returning to a slower pace in the evening.
Safaatoa suits travellers who want a relaxed stay built around the sea, the coast and the chance to see traditional Polynesian village life at close quarters. Those looking for nightlife, large resorts or a busy town centre may find it too quiet.
